Participants who apply for the Summer Work and Travel program are most curious about when and how to buy their plane tickets after receiving their visas. Participants may struggle to decide whether it’s too late or too early to buy tickets; some may prefer to buy their tickets before their visa interview, while many others prefer to buy them after. However, the answer to this question is – ‘it’s the right time to buy a ticket.’
So, what should students who have just received their visas or have postponed buying their plane tickets do now?
Regardless of the visa results, it would be most reasonable not to postpone buying a plane ticket due to the date, both in terms of cost and not having difficulty finding a ticket. As participants’ flight dates approach, they may struggle to find suitable flights and transfers. Plane tickets within the program are usually purchased after the student has entered the visa interview and received approval so that their tickets are secured once the results are known. However, students whose visas have already been approved should buy their plane tickets without further delay because the later the plane tickets are bought, the more the costs increase. Students who have not yet had their visa interviews may prefer to wait, or they can buy their tickets now to secure their seats on the plane and keep costs low. Therefore, it is very important for participants to buy their tickets without delay as of the date and reserve their seats on the plane for the adventures they will experience this summer.
Should I buy my ticket round-trip? What are the costs?
Every Work and Travel student must buy their plane ticket as a round-trip. Ticket prices vary between approximately 600 to 900 USD. Factors such as the departure city, destination city, number of transfers, date, and time largely determine the cost.
Which date should I buy my ticket for?
The most fundamental factor to consider when determining your flight dates is the start and end dates of your employment on your legal work document. You can organize and buy your plane ticket to arrive at the time and locations communicated by your employer one day before your start date. You can determine your return date based on the travel duration you plan to do after your end date.
Where should I buy my plane ticket from?
When buying a plane ticket, choosing which agency is very important for your budget. Some companies offer discounted prices, while others may not offer any discount.
